The velocity of blood flow is slower in the veins than in the capillaries since veins have a larger diameter. It is slowest in the capillaries since the total cross-sectional area is the greatest. The velocity is also slower in the arteries than in the capillaries since they possess a relatively large diameter. The velocity of blood flow increases as the total cross-sectional area of the blood vessels increases.

Identify the statement that is LEAST accurate: Group of answer choices A. Arteries – with thicker tunica media (smooth muscle) have greater influence on blood pressure regulation than veins B. Blood flow moves toward the heart: capillary to venule to vein C. Blood flow moves away from the heart: artery to arteriole to -capillary D. Veins have high capacity valves that increase backflow of blood into the body and legs
